Not really a title to this, but had to call it something. Dream.
It is a 16″ x 20″ canvas painted with acrylic in a style that mixes my expressionistic painting with old-school traditional American tattoo art. I did this as a test… testing myself actually to see if I could do what I wanted. It is a portrait of a girl named Sydney who is pretty much the only person who can seem to put up with me on a long-term basis without wanting to choke me, shoot me, beat me with a bat, etc. The test was to see if I could mix the painting and design styles in a portrait of a specific person.
The canvas I used was basically the only one of the size I wanted which was around, and I’d already put the background on it for a different painting. I’d have gone with a more fleshy type deal that matched her skin tones if starting from scratch, but I was too lazy to paint over what I’d previously done. Add to that I kinda dug the background. My next attempt at this will be different because of that. Overall it came out pretty good. Good for my goals that is. The idea is possibly to offer such a thing with a few catches as an art project. We will see if I am into it after doing a few.
As for this one… Dream… upon starts and with luck. Lucky dreams. That is the theme subject-wise, and the style is already explained.
You can get prints of the original HERE.
You can get a remixed version HERE, which I actually like better,
and… you can get KICK ASS stickers HERE, super cool shirts HERE, gnarly magnets HERE, and even a cute little button HERE, via my RedBubble.
How was all that for overload?
